In a time when being Catholic in Japan could cost you everything, ten-year-old Louis Ibaraki has more questions than answers. Orphaned, proud, and struggling to trust, Louis is thrown into a world of strange Latin prayers, secret Masses, and quiet heroism. Then he meets Maxium Tayeka—a swordsmith's son with a steady heart and a quiet strength—and everything begins to change. 

Paul Fox brings us the true story of St. Louis Ibaraki, the youngest of the Twenty-Six Martyrs of Nagasaki.
